Intervalometer only works when LCD display is on

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Intervalometer only works when LCD display is on, is this normal?

I tried the following:
- Press DISP so that screen is off by default
- Press the DP button and run Intervalometer
- The blue light LED flash for 1 time and goes off, nothing happen
- If I press DISP button to turn on LCD display, the blue light LED starts to 
flash and the Intervalometer starts to work..

- Finally, figured out the LCD display can be turned ON / OFF to Activate / 
Suspend the Intervalometer... is this normal behaviour? What if I want to safe 
some battery by keeping the display off but still have the Intervalometer to 
work?

Anyway, great work guys, I just install it today!

Well I just read the documentation:

"You can also pause a running script, by means of simply pressing the DISP 
button: this will put the camera into a low-power mode, and effectively stop 
all ongoing activity; press DISP again, to bring back the camera into life, and 
the script will continue normally."

Looks like this is intended. But what if I want the script to continue to run 
(e.g. Intervalometer to take 1 photo every hour) without leaving the LCD screen 
on all the time?

Not exactly... that is how the camera behaves, not how we want it to behave. I 
have to make a big dive into the display during scripts.

However, further studying the documentation, I found this option:
Settings Page -> 
Config. Scripts: This sub-menu configures the behavior of the scripts ->
LCD display: configure the brightness of the LCD display while a script is 
running.

I am given these options:
- Off
- Keep
- Dim down

I trieed Off, seems there's no effect

I cannot reproduce (one part of) the issue: pressing the DISP button while a 
script is running simply switches the display, but the script keeps running; 
I'll keep investigating.
